Too Much Rugby – What Is To Be Done (Part 3): Super 16
13 Jul 11 07:09 by The Sharks Sharkie | Admin, Original Content, Reader Submissions, Super Rugby | 17 Comments
In “Too Much Rugby – What Is To Be Done (Part 2): Super 15” I discussed two possible variations which allow for the contraction of the current Super 15 format. However with the Kings promised Super Rugby entry in 2013 and Argentina included in an expanded 4 Nations tournament next year (thereby increasing the chances of Argentinian Super Rugby franchises), the tournament is only set to get bigger and bigger.

There’s not much that will tempt me into the heart of Jozies at the best of times. But in what felt like an onslaught from the heavens, with freezing temperatures, howling winds and several attempts at what South Africans call snow and I call sleet, I resisted the urge to stay in bed with a rerun of the 2010 Currie Cup final and did my bit for the glorious game of rugby, making my way down the N1 to a fridge otherwise known as Johannesburg Stadium and this afternoon’s Lion’s press conference.

Sharksworld chats with Warren Whiteley at Carisbrook
28 May 11 14:57 by Hertford Highlander | Admin, Currie Cup, Lions, Original Content, Sharks, Super Rugby | 12 Comments
Tonight, a blood splatted Wikus Van Heerden crashed over the Highlanders line under a pile of bodies to score a last minute try that sealed an historic win for the visiting Lions. The try sealed the Lions first every win in New Zealand. Amid scenes of great jubilation at Carisbrook, Sharksworld was able to grab a few minutes with rising Lions star Warren Whiteley. [...]
There’s no place like home
Something amazing happened to me on Saturday. Something which put a smile on my face bigger than the proverbial Cheshire cat’s, injected a spring in my step worthy of a July-winning thoroughbred and sent enough adrenaline zipping through my veins to make the Vic Falls gorge swing look like a playground ride… [...]

Outwit, outplay, outlast…
At the start of this SupeRugby season I made a heartfelt prediction that 2011 was going to be the Sharks’ year. It came from a gut feeling, a “sixth sense” that the Boys in the Black and White were finally ready for some super silverware. It was a feeling that grew and grew until the pivotal game against the Chiefs in Hamilton… [...]
Sex may sell rugby, but is anyone buying?
The role of sex in rugby has been thrust into the spotlight this week, and all indications are that it could change the way South Africa’s rugby viewing public watch the sport and even affect the nation’s participation at this year’s Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. [...]
Springbok selection – men who stare at goats?
I love it when a plan comes together. And last Saturday’s plan was perfectly executed thanks to those charming and lovable oafs from the Boerestad soiling their onderbroeke against the Saders in Timaru and those equally affable and laid back bru’s from the land of the large flat mountain playing it by the book, the whole book and nothing but the book and discovering it was a book the Reds had already read.

I want a feeding frenzy, and I want it NOW!
OK. I am going to drop a bit of a bombshell before I get my teeth into this post. I have a major confession to make, the kind that splits families and starts vendettas… While the glorious chaps in Black and White are my first rugby love, they have not been my only rugby love. I had, for want of a better phrase, a rugby affair. I cuckolded my Sharks, against my will, and to my eternal shame. And I did it to keep a man happy… [...]
